the byron jones is seriously picking up steam, what exactly is he considered? a cb or a s? and ill admit i dont know much about the kid but is he a jack of all trades or is he really just good enough to play lights out at either position?
Hes a CB no question about that. He's a bit raw imo relied a lot on his athleticism(which is off the charts), I think his upside is too great to pass up on if he's available at 26 we take him. Its going to take a while for him to great down proper technique but he may end up being the best CB in the draft. Great character too.
With his athleticism he probably could play CB at a high level. It is a steep learning curve for the safety position and relying solely on athleticism won't cut it.
Plus Jimmy, who struggled a bit himself in his early years, will be around to mentor the kid. I'd love a cb in the first. It would redeem our weak secondary from a year ago, together with the Lewis signing etc.
